A new study utilizing fossil DNA analysis suggests that horses originated in North America. The research indicates that an extinct lineage known as the Dalian horse, previously thought to be confined to northeastern China, actually had a broader range extending to Siberia and Yakutia. This Dalian horse lineage, with its American ancestry, acted as a genetic bridge, passing these traits to ancient Siberian horse populations and subsequently to the ancestors of modern European horses.
